project central... part one

Hello! How have you been?
I have been up to my eyeballs in projects.. Which of course is great - but perhaps a little reminiscent of racing a deadline for a collage project.. of course i had oodles of time - but stuff got in the way - then i was sick.. ANYWAY! Here's a sneak peak of what i've been up to...
my submission to the Book Arts Council of Australia for their Matchbox zine project. Entrants were sent a matchbox to alter and use to contain a zine. I was inspired to turn mine into a garden shed - which led me to do an itty-bitty zine based on how important sheds have been through 3 generations of my family... it was challenging to distill the information to more of a 'feel' and just the essence... this bit was fun..

Using japanese masking tape (but of course!) to create furniture illustrations..why not give it a go - just find a picture of an object you like and make your own by cutting little bits of tape... you can even reposition it as you work..
fingers crossed they like it...
